Description
A rich and creamy chocolate chia pudding that’s easy to prepare and naturally sweetened, perfect for a healthy dessert or breakfast.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup light coconut milk (from a can)
- 1 cup milk (soy, cow’s milk, oat, or almond)
- 3–4 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl or container, whisk together the chia seeds, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Shake the can of coconut milk well, then measure out 1 cup and add it to the bowl along with the remaining ingredients.
- Whisk everything thoroughly to combine.
- Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes, then whisk again to prevent clumping.
- Cover and refrigerate for about 1 hour, or until set.
- Stir again before serving and top with coconut yogurt, berries, banana, or cacao nibs as desired.
Notes
- For a fully vegan option, use plant-based milk and maple syrup instead of honey.
- Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more or less sweetener.
- Letting the mixture rest before refrigerating helps prevent clumps.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Great for meal prep and can be portioned into jars.
